DIRECT GEOTAG
Warning – Direct Geotag Function
Compatible only with Sony LR1 cameras running firmware v2.0.0 or higher.
Requires gimbal SoM version 3.2.0 or higher.
Enable/disable Direct Geotag only when the drone is on the ground, and the gimbal motors have been properly tuned (no vibration, no motor overload).
Direct Geotag cannot be set during flight.
Do not power off the drone or reboot the SoM during Geotagging, as this may corrupt the images on the Sony memory card.
It is recommended to switch to HDMI output for easier monitoring of the feature.
Introduction
The Geotag feature is a new function that embeds the required GPS data directly into the images stored on the Sony LR1 camera’s memory card. This helps eliminate one step in the post-processing workflow after a mapping flight. The feature also provides progress display and results status during the Geotagging process.
Steps to Perform
Power on M300 / M350
In the configuration interface, turn on the Direct Geotag switch.
Start Mapping Mission
After landing, the camera will switch to Mass Storage mode to begin the geotagging process.
Once all conditions are verified, the gimbal will start geotagging.
In the Realtime field, the line Images/Logs will change to Direct Geotag, showing the percentage progress of geotagging.
When Direct Geotag reaches 100%, a message will appear in HMS:
“Direct Geotag is successful” if completed.
“Direct Geotag is failed” if not completed.
After finishing, the camera will return to the PC Remote state as before
